It sits on a branch, unmerged.  Recently there's been more interest in
the gdb MI code; future-break is peripherally related to that so you
might eventually see it go in.  future-break, or something like it, is
really required to write a decent GUI for gdb (we ran into problems
with saving breakpoints in Insight due to lack of this).

Yup.  To solve this problem in libgcj, I set a breakpoint on the
function that loads the library, and then I put commands on that
breakpoint which set a breakpoint in the newly loaded module.  It's a
pain, but it works ok.  If I want to do this more than once I put it
into a file that I can source into gdb.
